Default Guess how much this coolant cover costs

Honest w/o looking it up
The hose is extra.

My guess was $30.

$517...for a freakng piece of aluminum.

Part #12 here http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...section=101-05

Exactly same price as the WHOLE oil pump, which includes the whole front console, gears and internal pressure relief with springs. Just ridiculous!

not really surprised
there's a bit of machining there, plus the passage

I built a clean room for a small company that was awarded a DOD contract
the QA for a .55 part was over $4

I don't know. It looks like just a cast part with a steel bushing pressed in. Not must precision needed. Definitely a whole lot simpler than the main oil pump!

Only $367 at Sonnen. Not exactly a bargain.

Not replacing it. Just stumbled on the price when I was looking up other parts I want to replace...thought that's ridiculous.
